Gregory Soto is a relief pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 2026 he struck out 60 batters over 49.2 innings across 50 appearances, going 5-3. His ERA of 3.81 was 8.9% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 5th of 14 on his team, and 223rd of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 3.49 FIP suggests he pitched better than his ERA shows. He missed bats on 28.2% of swings (12.1% of every pitch he threw), walked 10.0% of the batters he faced and struck out 28.7%. His 0.6 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.
